Isn’t he the guy who promised to make energy prices “skyrocket”?
is it just me, or is Barry sounding like he’s on the verge of full-scale panic over this issue?
and if there is one thing that Obama knows very very well is “Lying “
Does anyone seriously listen to the President’s crap anymore?
“Indicates”? I thought he said it flat out.
Conversely, there are many ways to push up gas prices in the long term. And that's exactly what Obama is doing.
A dog smells his own $hit first so Obummer should know who is or is not a liar.
Part of the solution is to get rid of the guy that won’t do anything about the problem.
The immediate solution is to get rid of Bork Obunga...
End the EPA.
Without the FedGov’s interference, the regulatory burden is gone and competition gets thrown back out into the free market.
And yes, it’s just that damn easy.
No lie...
My immediate solution:
Drop the federal gas tax to zero. Immediately. Easy to implement. Just don’t collect it. Prices drop at least 56 cents across the board.
He should know. Takes one to know one (liar, that is).
someone should ask this tard... what is the effect of increased supply while demand stays steady?
how about decreasing supply?
if you decrease demand, by lowering employment and wealth, how much would you have to decrease supply to still see an increase? would blowing up an oil platform in the gulf be enough or would you also have to shutdown all drilling while restricting near-shore supplies?
oh, sorry... was I using basic economics again? my bad
freakin tards

One of the many things that annoy me about stories like this is the simple fact that had we taken the correct course on energy even twenty years ago, the issues we face today could be corrected by new pipelines, refineries and capacity that would be online.
No, there is no quick solution, even if we FINALLY get around to doing the right thing. But failure to act when we were fully aware of the issues we faced has only exacerbated the problem.
Anyone who says that the President’s policies have not been driving the cost of gas up is lying.
He does have a point. Even if we drilled oil wells everywhere that there is oil here in the US, and even if we got the Keystone pipeline up and running, that would not have much effect on gas prices. We need to relax some enviornmental laws. But the price situation is not going away any time soon. I gave up my car. I bus/bike everywhere. I haven’t bought a gallon of gas in 4 months. It sucks sometimes, but I figure that I’m paying $30 a month for my transportation needs. That’s less than filling up the tank once.
